NET Bible
"So the guardian said to Boaz,“You may acquire it,” and he removed his sandal."
— Ruth 4:8, NET Bible
“Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.”
“So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe. ”
“So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." He took off his shoe.”
“So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.”
“So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.”
“Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.”
Then Boaz said,“When you acquire the field from Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the wife of our deceased relative, in order to preserve his family name by raising up a descendant who will inherit his property.”
The guardian said,“Then I am unable to redeem it, for I would ruin my own inheritance in that case. You may exercise my redemption option, for I am unable to redeem it.”
(Now this used to be the customary way to finalize a transaction involving redemption in Israel: A man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party. This was a legally binding act in Israel.)
So the guardian said to Boaz,“You may acquire it,” and he removed his sandal.
Then Boaz said to the leaders and all the people,“You are witnesses today that I have acquired from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Kilion, and Mahlon.
I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, as my wife to raise up a descendant who will inherit his property so the name of the deceased might not disappear from among his relatives and from his village. You are witnesses today.”
All the people who were at the gate and the elders replied,“We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is entering your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel! May you prosper in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem.
